993 Headlamps

Has anyone fit 993 headlamps into SuperBeetle or Ghia fenders? Does anyone know where there are pictures?

Hi

Are they a projector style headlight? If they are they usually hang out the back a long way.

The 993 had two headlight options:

1. Standard Halogen
2. HID/Litronic

The Litronic is supposed to be a plug and play upgrade, so even the halogen must have been fairly long housings.

I have H4's on my Ghia; they look dead stock (fluted lenses) except that they throw the light to the left side of the road instead of the right. I know I've seen pictures in thesamba.com's photogallery of free form reflector (clear) H4 lamps.

Hi

I fitted some Hella H4 semi sealed beams to my daily 1303. I used early Mini headlights, these screwed into the existing holes in the Beetle wing/fender/guard
You could do the same with the clear ones. I then cut the adjusting screws from my stock headlight rim and just bolted it back over the light using the stock screw.

pics of my H4 brasilian 3 chamber clear lights + HID kit, hope it helps

Here you can see the difference between HID and Halogen

Everything was fitted inside the fender headlight bucket.

Xellex - I presume these are LHD ones? I couldn't find ANY in RHD for those of you who may be wanting them in the UK/AUS

well yes, my car is a LHD, but I don't think the manufacturer of these headlights makes a difference. Everything you can do is adjust them from their screws.
